Day 2: Scheduled Flight to Antarctica

Why choose a flight to Antarctica?
Flying over the Drake Passage allows you to reach the continent faster, so you can make the most of your travel time.
Crossing the Drake Passage by ship is a 2-day journey, while a flight there takes 2 hours, so you’ll be saving time each way.
When you fly, you also avoid the Drake Passage’s turbulent waters and the chance of getting seasick or injured while sailing through rough seas.
